What is being bought

Hampshire County Council is considering whether cross‑pavement channels could form part of the county’s future on‑street electric vehicle charging infrastructure. The Authority is intending to reach out to the market via market engagement. This market engagement is exploratory in nature and is intended to inform the potential scope, feasibility and considerations of any future approach to provide cross‑pavement cable management solutions. It seeks to develop a high‑level understanding of the market and available solutions rather than to assess or select suppliers or products. In particular, Hampshire County Council is seeking information relating to: • The types of cross‑pavement cable management solutions currently available and their level of market maturity. • Technical design characteristics, materials and construction methods, and suitability for installation within the public highway. • Safety, accessibility and equality considerations, including impacts on pedestrians and users with disabilities. • Installation requirements, interaction with existing footway construction, and implications for inspection, maintenance and reinstatement. • Operational, asset management and responsibility models, including ownership, liability and ongoing maintenance arrangements. • High‑level indicative costs and commercial approaches adopted by other authorities or organisations.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 34. The category anchor is Electric vehicles (34144900); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 341,5592 median · 14.3 average (393 of 1,559 with a bid count)3.2 average (437 of 1,559 with named award suppliers)Not published
Same buyer1Not publishedNot publishedNot published
Similar published value (0.5×–2×)1341 median · 2 average (5 of 134 with a bid count)1 average (6 of 134 with named award suppliers)Not published

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
